    Re: My Retic is getting big

    Retic is my dreamsnake. They are the pinnacle for me. No, that is a lie. The San Francisco garter would be the pinnacle for me, but since I cant have one.....): (

    Now the soul searching question of the day, will you still feel that way in 40 or more years? A snake as long as a house, poops like a pony, eats huge prey, and lives forever. not to enter into lightly.

    I want an Albino monocle cobra too, just not today

    James, That 49 ft retic was a hoax. When biologists or national geographic(or who ever it was that checked it out) got out there, the snake measured just 23 feet or so. The locals who had it said " we do not know why the snake has shrunk".
    The longest authenticated I've heard of was right about 33 feet.
    I dont believe many of the old records on snake length- especially with anacondas. Everyone says they get over 30 feet, yet I dont know if I have ever seen an actual believable account of one over 20. Many old records were taken by measuring skins- very inaccurate.

    Apparently, there have been claims of anacondas over 100 feet long and some cryptozoologists claim that there's a giant species of anaconda out there that can grow to something like 60 ft.

    Not saying its impossible, but I will have to see legitimate proof to believe it myself.
